Today, I would like to share my input on writing your personal brand biography. When we want to pitch ourselves to an employer in crunch time we perform an elevator pitch. In the 30 seconds you must tell the person or company who you are and what you can bring to the company. The problem with elevator speeches is that the person listening will stop caring within 10-15 seconds of your pitch. You should try to catch their attention in one sentence. If you are given a longer length of time to speak you would want to go with the longer pitch. The short, shorter, and shortest model helps people with their pitches. Here are my three pitches for being a filmmaker and screenwriter.
Shortest- I’m a passionate filmmaker interested in
continuing my career in filmmaking and screenwriting.
Shorter- I’m a passionate filmmaker interested in continuing
my career in filmmaking and screenwriting. I am currently working with a
student film crew called Lucifeatures. I work as a grip and production
assistant for the film we are currently in pre-production for called How John Boscoe Outsung the Devil. I
have been exploring the world of screenwriting and writing for television show
and movie ideas I have been developing on my own.

movie is about a prideful bass singer in Nashville, Tennessee who must chose
his family or fame when he faces his biggest competitor, the Devil. We will be
filming in the beginning of March in Nashville Tennessee. I am also working with the same group of
people on a short film that we have to write, produce, and direct in 48
hours. I will be serving as a writer and
a grip for the production. I have been
exploring the world of screenwriting and writing for television show and movie

Try and develop this various biographies of yourself and maybe you'll getting the job you''ve been dreaming of.
Sam, the posts look great! And I really enjoyed reading them. Some small advice: the background pic is distracting which makes it difficult to read. Also, the posts are written in red which is also not reader-friendly.
